The war of words between Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar continued over establishment of AIIMS in Kerala with the former saying that no MP can promise to set up the prestigious medical institution in the place of his choice.
In a social media post on Sunday, Tharoor said despite his best efforts for Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency, the central government has accepted Kerala government’s proposal to set up AIIMS in Kozhikode district.
State Health Minister Veena George has informed the state assembly that the Centre has accepted the proposal to set up an AIIMS at Kinalur in Kozhikode, he pointed out on X.
Tharoor criticized BJP candidates for misleading voters about AIIMS’ location, while Chandrasekhar countered by highlighting Tharoor’s unfulfilled promises and asserted that a BJP representative would have ensured AIIMS in Thiruvananthapuram.
